Celebrity Scoop – 01/08/2019

Ariana who? Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson appears to be bouncing back after his split from fiancée Ariana Grande and the posting an alarming Instagram note a few weeks ago, if a report in Page Six is to be believed.

Davidson was spotted leaving the Netflix Golden Globes party with Kate Beckinsale. “They were flirting all night and sipping Moët champagne,” a spy told Page Six TV. “They were outside on the patio and left together.”

It’s not Davidson’s first dive back into the dating pool; he was also spotted on a date at Carbone last month with a “mystery woman.” Beckinsale was most recently linked to British comedian Jack Whitehall; she divorced Hollywood producer Len Wiseman in 2016.

Justin Timberlake is back performing and he couldn’t be more thrilled.

“Last night. Feels good to be back,” the singer wrote on Sunday, 48 hours after he headlined the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. following a two month hiatus from performing due to bruised vocal cords.

The Man of the Woods tour kicked back off Friday night and continued on Sunday night with a gig at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The tour was delayed in late October, when Timberlake canceled a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, explaining that “my vocal cords are severely bruised… I’m gonna make this up to you.” Other postponements followed and JT shared an update in early December, noting he was on the mend and that doctors had recommended he hold off on singing until January.

On opening night of Lady Gaga’sEnigma residency in Las Vegas last month, Celine Dion was caught on video rocking out to Gaga’s performance of “The Edge of Glory” and other songs. Gaga tells Access Hollywood that she loved Celine’s reaction so much, she actually incorporated it into her show.

“She inspired my performance,” Gaga says. “I watched that video after I did that show, and then the next night when I sang ‘The Edge of Glory’ I was doing all the moves that Céline was doing because she outperformed me while I was singing it!” She adds, “She’s an icon! And you know what is so wonderful? She is so kind.”

Gaga also only had good things to say about another icon who has a Las Vegas residency.

“And you know who else is so kind is Cher,” she says. “When [A Star Is Born] came out, that woman sent me, like, 600 white roses. And she said, ‘It worked for me and I believe it will work for you, the dreams that you wish will come true. From Cinderella.’“

Gaga continues her Vegas residency later this month.

According to a speech that Gaga made onstage during the show, Celine also joined Gaga behind the scenes before the concert began.

“Give it up for Céline Dion,” Gaga shouted during her speech. “She prayed with me and my entire crew backstage before this show. That is how amazing she is.”

Idris Elba continues to stoke fan excitement over the possibility that he will be the next James Bond. Elba’s latest move: he snagged current James Bond star Daniel Craig for a selfie at the Golden Globes Sunday night.

The pair looked pained, and he captioned it, “Awks…..”

Speculation that Elba could be 007 started in 2014, when a leaked email showed Sony exec Amy Pascal floating the possibility. Since then, he has alternatively denied, avoided and encouraged the rumor, apparently enjoying the game of cat and mouse.

Craig is reportedly giving up the franchise after the next installment.
